“I feel like I have been silently campaigning for this my whole life,” Franco joked. “I never realized how rare it was for a man to be obsessed with his cats until every journalist brought it up in every interview I’ve ever done.”
He continued, “I, of course, have to thank Max and Otis. You guys—as if they’re watching—make me laugh more than anyone on Earth. I gotta give a shout-out to my old cats, Harry and Arturo.”
As Fallon's band started playing him off, Franco shouted, "This is my moment!” before laughing.
